Dr Giulia Costanzo
Psychologist and research assistant collaborating with the Dynamic Psychology Chair. I am currently training as a psychotherapist in Systemic and Family Therapy.
My main areas of interest and research include childhood maltreatment, attachment styles, risk and protective factors in the development of psychopathology and personality disorders, eating disorders, emotion regulation processes, suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, and family and intimate relationships.
I am an affiliate member of the Clinical and Dynamic section of the Associazione Italiana di Psicologia (AIP).
